Colonel Future of Earth-2

The Earth-2 criminal gang-leader who uses super-scientific weapons to commit his crimes.

Colonel Edmond H. Future is the "mastermind of the leading crime syndicate in Metropolis," alternately referred to as the "Colonel Future Mob" (SF No. 198/2, Nov-Dec 1979: "The Leaning Tower of Metropolis") and the "CF Gang" which "uses spies to steel top-secret blueprints and models from scientific institutes and research labs which their highly skilled engineers turn into elaborate devices for committing crimes" (SF No. 220, Jul 1982: "Where Off Earth Are You From?").

Col. Future is the sworn enemy of the Superman of Earth-2 and has attempted his destruction on several occasions.

Determined to halt the interference of the Man of Steel in his criminal enterprises, Col. Future enlists the aid of the Wizard, a powerful magician who casts a spell causing Superman to vanish for an entire year (Act No. 484, Jun 1978: "Superman Takes a Wife!").
